Other News:
When the disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray," I can only imagine how it delighted the heart of Jesus! I think it would be like a young man asking his carpenter father, "Dad, can you teach me how to work with wood like you do?" How delighted we are when someone wants to learn a skill or discipline that we hold dear...and then, on top of it, asks us to teach them! Let's delight our Savior by asking him, "Lord, teach me to pray." He'll be delighted to teach us something so close to His heart!
